editing a form field with submission data

If we have to make an edit to a field question, but someone has an incomplete submission in limbo, will it erase any of their data if we make that edit?

We don't recommend editing/deleting a field with submission data. I would suggest if you would like to edit/delete a field, you may add a new field and hide the old one. This will prevent the old submission data from being deleted.

Hope this information helps.

If you have further questions, let us know.

Hi Richie,

In this instance, I needed to edit a word in the question of a short text field. I wasn't deleting any fields. However, I was concerned as I know there was an incomplete submission at the time, that if I edit that word, will that user lose their saved data (as we've had an issue with people losing their information when using the Save & Continue Later feature on a regular basis).

Thanks,

Thank you for the added information, labels should not be a problem only field deletion.

If you need further assistance, let us know.
